Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for full‑duplex applications?
Yes. The duplex LC‑ST design uses two fibres, allowing bi‑directional signal transmission—perfect for full‑duplex fibre links.
Can this patchlead support 10 GbE?
OM2 fibre is rated for up to 1 GbE over 550 m. For 10 GbE, consider OM3 or OM4 multimode fibre.
Which jacket should I choose—LSZH or PVC?
Use PVC for general indoor use. LSZH is recommended in spaces requiring low‑smoke and toxic gas ratings, like compliance zones or data centres.
